“We arrested DJ Wysei, not DJ Switch” –Lagos Police Spokesman Apologizes
The Police Public Relations Officer of Lagos State Police Command, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, has issued a clarification regarding the arrest of a DJ, stating that it was DJ Commissioner Wysei, not DJ Switch, who was taken into custody, as earlier reported.
Reports had emerged on Thursday that DJ Switch was arrested and taken to the magistrate court in Eti Osa over an alleged complaint of fraud and assault, which led to her assaulting a police officer.
In a statement released on Thursday, Hundeyin admitted responsibility for the mix-up that led to misleading reports.
The Lagos Police Spokesman extended apologies to media outlets, including Lindaikeji, BBC, and TVC, for confirming the inaccurate information earlier.
He also issued an apology to DJ Switch for the confusion caused by the mix-up.
“There is a mixup from our end. Arrested person is DJ Commissioner Wysei not DJ Switch. Apologies for all inconveniences to a few media outfits like Lindaikeji, BBC and TVC that I gave confirmation this morning.
”Apologies to DJ Switch too,” he said.
